Keep in mind it’s ONLY $49 a month and $0 for the phone, if you sign up to the plan for 24 months (in other words 24 months with 50mb allowance per month). If you only want a 12 month contract it costs you $49 for the plan per month, PLUS $60 per month paying the phone off, and only 50mb of data. It is also available for $599 outright *ouch*. As for the Nexus One, we have no idea when it is coming and only get told things a few days before stock lands in store. So it could… Read more »

Hey guys, quick question. For these plans what usually happens when you cancel the service before fulfilling the full contract? Pay in full the remaining months? I’m only in Australia for 10-11 months but really wanted to pick up one of these Android HTCs. Cheers!

Cool, thanks. So basically it’s best to sign up for the 12 month and pay a bit for the phone. One more question for the 12 month plans… why would someone sign up for the $29 cap + $80 for the phone, when the 79 cap + $10 phone comes out cheaper and with more included?

Yeah, i agree, too expensive for what is only a mid-range phone. When i heard about the price i went and got a free Quench on the Optus $19 social plan and am very happy with it. The fact that it’s only Android 1.5 doesn’t bother me since i’m new to Android anyway so i don’t know what i’m missing out on in the later versions – it does everything i need it to. When i got the Quench I mentioned that i was keen on the Legend. The Optus guy said it should be out in July but it… Read more »

Feel free to be annoyed, but the Quench on a $19 plan gives you 100mb of data, and excess is 10c/mb. And the phone is free.

Plus all Gmail, Facebook, MySpace and Youtube (and I think even the weather app) is piped through Motoblur and is free as long as you use their apps. So using the 100mb might be difficult, especially if you only download apps when connected to WiFi.

Ugly is in the eyes of the beholder, they all look like phones and it is hard to beat the price.
